I experience the same as Mark explains in Firefox on Windows on my best computer. The unexplainable is, that Firefox on Linux Mint Mate 17.3 on my 10 year old laptop - only 32 bit and with 2gb ram I have no problems at all. I am synchronizing, so I am rather sure they are used in the same way

This is real hoarding though. Giving it more memory would probably make things worse. Gradually, no matter how many tabs I have open, the total FF memory grows. Somewhere around 2g it becomes unstable and crashes if I don't restart first. Typically I need to restart once or twice a day. By cont

There was ONE thread of great significance in a dev group at Mozilla in which the "Saving Problem" was debated at length many moons ago. TiddlyWiki featured in it. It went nowhere. I can't find it now. Twitter doesn't really have threads unless you elect to reply to a reply. You just ignore stu

Even though I've had a twitter account for years, I still don't understand how it all works. When I go to @Firefox, it's all twinkles and sunbeams with a few technical questions in between. I assume they somehow suppress any negativity from their followers. Is there a way to see the actual comm
